The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reversed its earlier position on Senator Samuel Anyanwu and suspended its planned National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for June 30, following consultations with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
At a press conference held Wednesday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum described the decision as “difficult but necessary,” noting that it had gained widespread acceptance among party leaders.
Damagum, flanked by prominent party figures including Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and former Senate President Bukola Saraki, announced that Senator Anyanwu would be fully reintegrated into the National Working Committee (NWC).
“This is a step towards unity and reconciliation,” Damagum said, adding that the party would now convene an expanded National Caucus meeting on June 30 in place of the earlier scheduled NEC session.
